LOTR Online screens

Yeah another screenshots thread. Wasnt it Middle Earth online before? Guess they want the movie recognition. Anyway, these screens look pretty nice IMHO. Same engine as DDO I think?

I like it. Seems like theres been a real backlash against hyper realistic poser model graphics, which is something I can get behind.

I actually really like these shots. It seems a great direction in the art.

How the hell are they doing magic in this game? I doubt you can just up and be one of the half dozen "wizards" in existence.

I really like the looks of it so far, and I'm a big fan of Tolkien, but I'm just not too sure how fun Middle-Earth could be as a MMO. I mean, there aren't really enough bad guys it seems to keep any sort of non-casual player busy.

And given as how i'm sure people will piss and moan when they do the smallest thing in the MMO that isn't in the books, or wasn't written by Tolkien, I wonder how inventive they are going to be with it.

Maybe it's just too early to tell. I'm gonna keep my eyes on this one tho.

Uh.. yes.. you know, besides the half dozend or so movie characters, there never should have been any Jedi's in SWG either.

Maybe Galadriel opend up a school for witchcraft? who knows?

Peter Jackson didn't sweat too much about staying close to the books. So why should some backwater software firm that mainly wants to attract a twitchy gamer audience who likely never read the books anyways (yeah, there'll be exceptions to the rule.. who cares)?
